Chicken Salad Chick — a chain that serves a dozen or so varieties of mayo-based picnic fare, including its namesake chicken salad, egg salad and pimento cheese — plans to open eight San Antonio-area locations.

The Atlanta-based company’s expansion plans include the grand opening of the Alamo City’s first Chicken Salad Chick location. The new stores will span Bexar, Kendall, Comal and Hays counties over the next two years, bringing more than 250 jobs to the area, according to a news release.

Chicken Salad Chick, founded in Alabama by Kevin and Stacy Brown, has grown to 200 units in 17 states since its 2008 inception. That total includes 21 locations in the Lone Star State.
